Scheduling Tips
- Use the early-morning PST window: 7:30-9:00 AM PST / 9:00-10:30 PM IST. Keep these meetings short (30 min max) since it is late for India.
- Alternatively, flip to evening PST: 6:00-7:30 PM PST / 7:30-9:00 AM IST (next day). This catches the Indian team's fresh morning hours.
- Build an async-first culture — the 13.5-hour gap makes synchronous meetings a bottleneck. Reserve real-time calls for decisions that cannot be made asynchronously.
